Well sex is mostly about the brain so at a certain level of a relationship some erotic feelings can be conjured up.

Agreed, you have to know the someone very well and already intimately. If you can’t see each other every day but adore each other enough, it adds on another level of intimacy and can be quite exciting and erotic.

I have shared the two methods with several women and mutual gratification was met more often than not. There use to be a call service where you could call strangers for anonymous phone sex. My second wife and I made conference speaker calls like having a threesome. She got extremely aroused while a stranger and I talked "dirty" to her while masterbating with her vibrator and while I touched her. It was very erotic and took away the complications that might come with actually having a threesome. Facetime and Skype for sex calls can be equally stimulating. Just requires alittle more preparation and trust with boundaries to do this.

I believe it depends on the couple and where they are in their relationship. It also depends on how emotionally matched they are and the degree of trust they have developed. It also depends on the degree of role playing and imagination they have let into their relationship. And it also depends on where the relationship is headed, if it is headed at all. It may also depend on how adventurous they are and how emotionally involved they want and intend to be with the other. What is right for a couple may be wrong for another couple. So each couple must analyze their situation honestly and sensitively - then go for it or not!

I have done phone sex a few times, usually with someone I've already been intimate with. Although I have a distant friend I've never met in person. We occasionally connect. I was his first orgasm after he had a heart attack.

Is that a request?

I have and my take away from it was that it created a sense of intimacy and closeness that DID not translate well when we met in person. In a commited relationship where you already know the person, I think it's fine but I'll never start that up with someone I haven't physically met again.

I like it but to each his or her own.

Sexual stimulation in any safe form is acceptable. I'm not much into sexting except as foreplay, since I am not a great one-handed text partner. Phone sex, though, is lovely and should occur in all intimate relationships once in a while - distant or not.

I find it fun, only if there's no intention to ever meet in person. It's safe sex with none of the complications that come with trying to find a friend with benefits in real life. For me it's superficial though, and couldn't take the place of a true partnership or relationship.

I love the written word, but it doesn't convey the subtle nuances one hears in a voice. Even separated by miles, a phone call can be very intimate.

Ready, willing and able, but my experience with women online is that they're mostly convinced that all men are on dating sites solely for cheap no-strings sex. And that's not me. I think men need to make an effort to not add more fuel to that bonfire. I did it once with a lady I'd never met, but only at her invitation. We enjoyed it but it was a one-time thing. Prefer it be attached to a real relationship, but that could be part of the fantasy.

This doesn't even have to be in a long distance relationship. It's fun to exchange sexy texts with a willing partner, and then talk about them over dinner ?

I can't do that with someone unless I was intending to meet them in person one day. I'd like to say that im a fairly serious person when it comes to relationships. But I have to have a connection with that person. I can't just sext a person I don't know. You can say its because I have certain standards or accuse me of being close minded. But it facilitates a intimate connection between two people. Does that make be a wierdo? What do you think?

Long distance is hard

I would. Imagination is the key, using descriptive romantic words and visualizing your actions can be quite effective. I always said that sex is more in the brain than in the genitals.

I have but that was while I was deployed. Im much more hesitant about it these days though. And for good reasons...But sexting? Doesn't anyone know how to write a decent love letter anymore?

Sometimes yes!

While I flirt with most any female I come in contact with, my only real sexting either came after I'd slept with a woman, or was planning to have sex with a specific woman.

I do enjoy writing and I'd think I would enjoy a long distance relationship. I am concerned that after a while I'd lose interest.

I have and I would exchange textual forms of "sex". Also done video (Skype etc).

Exchanging photos/recorded videos only to be done with someone well-known.

I think it really depends on the two people and if they want to do this. Long distance relationships are hard, but they can succeed if the both parties are willing to compromise.

@Kojaksmom Are you willing and under what circumstances?

I did that with my late partner. She was in Texas and I in Seattle. I love variety (but not kinky) which they say is the spice of life. It was new to us both but definitely worthwhile.

I did have an odd experience like this, through a writers group I was involved in I met and communicated with a lady in the USA for a number of years. Because I am partially dyslexic she offered to proof read some of my stories and correct them for me.
After a time she began discussing online a number of Issues with erotic scenes in my writing, these discussion became very detailed and deeply explored the nature of erotica. She spent time making suggestions, editing and helping me better understand the way women read romantic and erotic fiction. on night she became flustered and finally she admitted she was using these discussions to pleasure herself.
I'll admit that even though I was an unwitting party to it, I was both flattered and embarrassed, to this day I'm not sure if this was cybersex or not.

Still feels like cheating to me. Anyone want to convince me otherwise? lol
